Looking at these pictures as a writer, #2 and #3 are just what I'd look for as a prompt for a tale of a protagonist on the search for treasure, kidnap victims or fighting a foe. They set my imagination on fire. The first picture, could be a closing scene, the ending, mission accomplished, all is well.
Not professional as far as photography, but I like all three.

First one hold interest, second not so much even with a bit of Post Prcessing what is the subject of number 2? Third has potential if post processed to bring out the color and clouds which probably would then become the subject.

#1. It shows more of the crater which is the home of Madam Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess
Madam Pele' s home is actually on the Big Island at Halemaumau
I like the first photo. It gives a sense of the vastness of the crater and in away, about life.It gives a sense of going from the substantial to the insubstantial. As you look at the clouds you see a mountain appearing through the clouds. In the insubstantial there is the substantial. Sort of like the yin and yang symbol.
I also like the third photo,mostly because of the richness of the colors in the foreground

I have to agree with Linda on her observations.
The 1st really doesn't have a main point of interest. When viewing the download my eyes kept moving from the rocks on the left to the colors on the right.
If the mountain in the back was a little bigger it would be a great point of interest.
The 2nd one really doesn't have any single thing of interest either. Just a bunch of non colorful rock formations.
The 3rd one is the one I like the best. It has good leading lines drawing the viewer's eyes to the clouds and mountain.

I would take all 3 photos, frame them and hang them side by side to have the best 3. For me all 3 are good in their own way. That my take.

Definitely the first one.

Prefer the first. Tells the story of the clouds coming in. Others nice, but no history of the movement of the clouds.

As others have said, number one. The other two just don’t do anything for me.

I like the vastness of the first one and the sense of place it gives. I also like the third, as the colours are a bit more vivid, and I like how the clouds swirl around the mountaintop.

I like #2 the best. I like the sweeping curves in the picture. I like that there is a lot for me to look at and for my eyes to focus on. My eyes get lost in #1 and #3 like I don't know where I'm supposed to be looking.

You have said very clearly for me what others also seem to be suggesting, especially relating to #1. I would like to make a point, which I see could be a topic as well. My daughter draws well; she has done a number of nice pieces. In a number of our talks she describes her method in her workflow to find a starting point, but in the ensuing production she works "around" the canvass. She works in such a way that the eye moves around the canvass incorporating the entire piece. Sometimes what I will see before I actually shoot is this form of movement in the capture. I think #1 has this aspect. However, this mindset leads to images that lack a focused point of view in my pictures. Pardon my ramblings, but these helpful, well-stated critiques help me to consider what I have done in a given image. Still, all in all, I will probably continue to explore the idea of movement.
P.S. my pp skills while improved are in a state of incompleteness.
